Open ProvincesCannabis rules in New Brunswick: legal age, where to buy and where to use
The legal age for cannabis in New Brunswick, where you can legally buy it and the main rules on possession and use, from the official pages.
Legal age, where to buy and where to use
Age 19. Buy only from Cannabis NB stores or approved retailers, or online at cannabis-nb.com (ID required at delivery); up to 30 grams per purchase. Public consumption is not permitted. Adults may grow up to four plants on their own property. Warning signs of illegal sellers: no age check, payment by e-transfer or cryptocurrency, shipping anywhere in Canada.
Federal law sets the 30-gram public possession limit; provinces set the age, sales model and where you may use it. Never drive after using cannabis, and never carry it across the border. Rules, fees and programs change and were read on 2026-11-14: confirm with the official source. General information, not legal advice. Quebec follows its own rules: see atlasquebec.ca.
